The Principality of Gracca is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archduchess Sylvaria Zi Randgriz with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.248 billion Graccans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Graccan economy, worth a remarkable 1,972 trillion G-Bills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 192,519 G-Bills, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 605,622 per year while the poor average 46,826, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gracca's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Graccanism.

Gracca is ranked 299,767^th in the world and 3,918^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.46 average smiles per day.
